Aren't these plants really difficult to kill? Leave it to me. So, all you green thumbs out there, what do I do with this pitiful thing? I'd like to put it in a prettier pot (obviously) but do I replant the whole ugly thing? or do I cut off what's left of the good stuff before it dies, too? Does this pic even give you a clue about what can be done? I am at a loss, and I'm about to trash the thing, but when it's pretty...well, it's a beautiful plant! I had it indoors, but it was falling apart and I stuck it on the deck rail during a misty rain, watered it slightly, and, well, here it is...help!!

I know I will most likely laugh my head off but what does OT mean??

OT = Off Topic

Or, if anyone is actually working, overtime... lol

Ya'll all keep laughing at me, I really don't mind. My frustration is honest and my attempts to save this poor thing are from the heart, but I understand totally how funny this is! As soon as the weather warms, I'll get that booger outside and hopefully it will perk up. Think I should get a grow light? Just wondering.

Yah, OT is Off Topic, which anything in the lounge is usually off topic anyway, but my dying jade is SO band UNrelated, I added the OT. Something I picked up from other threads, thought it was clever!

I kept thinking bizarre things. OVERTIME came to mind first. Then Old Tits that one had me laughing so hard. Then On Track. Then Oops Tilted or Oops Trapped. See where my mind was going anywhere but OFF TOPIC. LOL!!

LOL...I just love ya'll! I have never had a jade plant. I do however have 7 African Violets that seem to thirve. I just wick them and they grow beautifully.

I may have to get a Jade and try my luck with it....

Hey, Tammy, you can have mine!

Hehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!

ROTFLMAO! I luv this sight! And Pinni, u crack me up! I was doing the same thing only I thought Odd Things and Old and Tired.

I am bumping this because I want Kathy to post a new picture of the jade plant please. I am worried about the poor thing.

I'm sorry Kathy, but I am LMAO!! But only because I am in the same boat!! I had a green thumb until I went to nursing school. Isn't that ironic? So don't feel like the Lone Ranger, cause Tonto's right beside ya!!

Here's my jade.

I don't know what this one's called but it's pitiful too!

Then there's this one. It needs water!

This one still looks pretty good! I bought it at Christmas.

AAAAAAAAAACK!!! Re-pot! Re-pot! Soil poisoning! The dust and particles, dead leaves and tips that build up over time are slowly killing your plants! Please, someone save the plants!!! Plants must be maintained in cleaning up their beds. It is kinda like our beds, we should change the sheets and flip the mattress.

Okay, plan of attack..... ((breathe breathe breathe)) Buy a new pot, Take the plants out of the pot they are in, throw old pot away, crumble the soil away from the roots of the plant (gently), and place into new soil pot 1/2 filled. Then crumble new soil to the side and top loosely. Water, let sit for a day, then add a bit more soil on the top, then rewater with a little more. Not overflow. Just enought to dampen the top.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH ((runs through the house wildly with arms in the air and eyes buggin out and screamin' "someone save the plants"))

LOL!!! Thank you!! I'm sure my MIL feels the same way! She has given me lots of plants over the years & she herself has a sunroom that looks like a jungle! I'm not exaggerating. Thanks Jenna! Iwill head to the store!
